  Episode #387

  Preseason AP Poll is Here | Giants Trying to Tame Jaxson Dart | Dan Orlovsky's QB Rankings

  Aug 18, 202659 min

  Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Jaxson Dart back in the medical tent and the Giants getting in their own way again under John Harbaugh, the new college football AP Top 25 with Ohio State at one and Alabama out of the top 10 for the first time since 2008, and Dan Orlovsky's quarterback rankings that show heavy favoritism toward Herbert, Maye, and Darnold. GIANTS KEEP GETTING IN THEIR OWN WAY Jaxson Dart is in the blue medical tent again in his second preseason opener — and it's not the first time. Cam Skattebo keeps making questionable decisions. The roster hasn't come together under John Harbaugh the way anyone hoped. Grant & Tanner debate whether New York hired the right coach and whether this franchise can get out of its own way long enough to compete. NEW CFB AP TOP 25 — OHIO STATE #1, INDIANA #6, ALABAMA OUT OF THE TOP 10 The Buckeyes are the preseason favorite. The defending national champion Hoosiers are somehow only sixth. And Alabama is out of the top 10 for the first time since 2008 — the most remarkable data point in the entire poll. Grant & Tanner break down every ranking worth debating and tell you where they disagree with the voters. DAN ORLOVSKY'S QB RANKINGS GOT IT WRONG Heavy favoritism for Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, and Sam Darnold — and players with better track records getting pushed down as a result. Grant & Tanner break down exactly where Orlovsky went wrong, who got robbed, and what the corrected version of his list should actually look like. BOTTOM LINE: Three big stories today — a franchise in chaos before the season starts, a college football power ranking that's already generating debate, and a quarterback list that needs significant corrections.

  Episode #386

  Jayden Daniels is DONE with LSU | Mendoza Makes his Debut | Indiana will Welcome the Bears

  Aug 14, 202651 min

  Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — the real story behind Jayden Daniels' cease-and-desist to LSU that everyone is getting wrong, Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiyah Love, and Carnell Tate making their NFL preseason debuts, and the Chicago Bears announcing a move to Indiana while keeping the Chicago name — plus why Ben Johnson saying his goal is to score more points than anyone has Grant & Tanner raising serious questions. JAYDEN'S LSU CEASE-AND-DESIST — THE REAL STORY It's not about the jersey number. It's about NIL rights used beyond the contractual window. Grant & Tanner break down what Jayden's legal team actually alleged, why the media narrative is completely off, and whether Jayden and his camp were right to send the letter. MENDOZA, LOVE, AND TATE MAKE THEIR NFL DEBUTS Three of the most anticipated rookies from the 2026 draft class got their first NFL action. Grant & Tanner break down Fernando Mendoza's Raiders debut, Jeremiyah Love's first carry for the Cardinals, and whether Carnell Tate — the receiver the Commanders reportedly wanted at pick seven — lived up to the billing in his first appearance as a Titan. BEARS MOVING TO INDIANA — AND BEN JOHNSON'S CONFUSING GOAL The Chicago Bears are leaving Chicago and keeping the Chicago name anyway. And their head coach says his goal is to score more points than any other team — not win the Super Bowl. Grant & Tanner break down both stories and explain why Johnson's stated priorities have them more confused than confident heading into his first season. BOTTOM LINE: Three stories that couldn't be more different — a misreported legal dispute, a generation of rookies getting their first NFL taste, and a franchise with more identity questions than answers.

  Episode #385

  Shedeur Sanders is being Shopped by Browns | Caleb Downs Makes Dallas a Champion | NFL Preseason Week 1 Picks

  Aug 11, 202650 min

  Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — ESPN's Cleveland reporters saying Shedeur Sanders could be cut or traded before the season, Caleb Downs lighting up Cowboys training camp and what it means for the NFC East race, and full NFL preseason week one picks including Lions +6.5 against Burrow and the Bengals, Colts over the Patriots, Seahawks over the Cowboys, and more. SHEDEUR SANDERS COULD BE CUT OR TRADED BEFORE THE SEASON ESPN's Cleveland reporters are floating the possibility — and Grant & Tanner aren't surprised. They break down why Shedeur's headline-generating nature makes him unworkable as a backup, give a fair critique of his rookie performance, and identify which teams should be on the phone with Cleveland right now. CALEB DOWNS IS LIGHTING IT UP AT COWBOYS CAMP Eleven teams passed on him and they're all looking foolish right now. Grant & Tanner break down what Downs is showing at Dallas camp, how much better he makes the Cowboys' defense, and whether this is the piece that pushes Dallas past Washington and Philadelphia in the NFC East race. NFL PRESEASON WEEK 1 PICKS Lions +6.5 against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Colts over the Patriots. Seahawks over the Cowboys. Grant & Tanner go through every notable preseason week one matchup, give their picks and their reasoning, and identify the games worth watching most closely. BOTTOM LINE: Three big stories to open preseason week one — a first-round pick who might not make his team's roster, a draft steal making everyone look bad, and a full slate of picks to kick off the 2026 NFL preseason.

  Episode #384

  Carson Beck Dominates HOF Game | Commanders Sign Stefon Diggs | Aaron Donald Nearing a Return?!

  Aug 7, 202647 min

  Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to practice with the Rams and whether LA is now the prohibitive Super Bowl favorite, the Commanders landing Stefon Diggs and what it means for their playoff chances and Brandon Aiyuk's NFL future, and a wild Hall of Fame game where Carson Beck impressed in his Cardinals debut and Haynes King hit a time-expiring walk-off touchdown to give the Panthers a 33-30 win. AARON DONALD IS BACK — ARE THE RAMS THE SUPER BOWL FAVORITE? The greatest defensive player of his generation is practicing with Los Angeles again. Grant & Tanner break down what Donald still brings at this stage of his career, whether he actually plays in a regular season game, and whether his return pushes the Rams from NFC favorite to prohibitive Super Bowl favorite. COMMANDERS SIGN DIGGS — PLAYOFFS BOUND, AND IS AIYUK DONE? Jayden Daniels now has Terry McLaurin, Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Chig Okonkwo, and Bill Croskey-Merritt around him. Grant & Tanner give their updated NFC power ranking for Washington, debate whether this roster is genuinely built to compete in January, and ask the uncomfortable question: with Diggs off the board and the 49ers showing no signs of releasing him, is Brandon Aiyuk's NFL career effectively over? HALL OF FAME GAME — CARSON BECK SHINES, HAYNES KING WALKS IT OFF Carson Beck looked like the real deal in his Cardinals debut. Haynes King hit a time-expiring touchdown to give the Panthers a wild 33-30 win. Grant & Tanner break down the real takeaways from Canton and what they're watching for in the preseason games ahead. BOTTOM LINE: Three massive stories to open the 2026 NFL preseason — a legend returning, a receiver room transformed, and a Hall of Fame game that actually delivered.

  Episode #383

  Everyone is HURT on the 49ers | Bijan Robinson Signs Record Deal | Aaron Rodgers goes off on ESPN

  Aug 4, 202651 min

  Grant & Tanner cover it all in this one — the 49ers' injury situation getting worse with Ricky Pearsall done for the year and Mike Evans banged up, Bijan Robinson signing the richest running back contract in NFL history and what it means for Jahmyr Gibbs' holdout and the OPOY race, and Aaron Rodgers going on Pat McAfee to hit Fauci, call out Diana Russini, and blast ESPN for their silence on the Vrabel scandal. 49ERS INJURY NIGHTMARE KEEPS GETTING WORSE Ricky Pearsall is done for the year. Mike Evans has a quad strain. And there's more. Grant & Tanner break down what's left of Kyle Shanahan's receiver room, whether the 49ers can still compete in the NFC West, and just how far their floor has dropped before a single regular season snap. BIJAN ROBINSON SIGNS ALL-TIME RECORD RB DEAL $75 million total. $25 million per year. $51 million guaranteed. The richest running back contract in NFL history is done — and Grant & Tanner break down every number, why Jahmyr Gibbs should end his holdout immediately now that the market is set, and who wins Offensive Player of the Year between the two best running backs in football. AARON RODGERS UNLOADS ON PAT McAFEE Fauci and COVID. Diana Russini's relationship with Mike Vrabel. And a direct shot at ESPN for their near-total silence on a scandal involving one of their own reporters. Grant & Tanner react to all of it — breaking down whether Rodgers has a legitimate point about ESPN's coverage and how much credibility he has making these arguments. BOTTOM LINE : Three massive stories today — a contender falling apart before the season starts, a running back market that just got completely reset, and Aaron Rodgers doing what Aaron Rodgers does best.
